91Wisdom has made her house, putting up her seven pillars.+2She has put her fat beasts to death; her wine is mixed, her table is ready.+3She has sent out her women-servants; her voice goes out to the highest places of the town, saying,+4Whoever is simple, let him come in here; and to him who has no sense, she says:+5Come, take of my bread, and of my wine which is mixed.+6Give up the simple ones and have life, and go in the way of knowledge.+7He who gives teaching to a man of pride gets shame for himself; he who says sharp words to a sinner gets a bad name.+8Do not say sharp words to a man of pride, or he will have hate for you; make them clear to a wise man, and you will be dear to him.+9Give teaching to a wise man, and he will become wiser; give training to an upright man, and his learning will be increased.+10The fear of the Lord is the start of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One gives a wise mind+11For by me your days will be increased, and the years of your life will be long.+12If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if your heart is full of pride, you only will have the pain of it.+
The Way of Folly
13The foolish woman is full of noise; she has no sense at all.+14Seated at the door of her house, in the high places of the town,+15Crying out to those who go by, going straight on their way, she says:+16Whoever is simple, let him come in here: and to him who is without sense, she says:+17Drink taken without right is sweet, and food in secret is pleasing.+18But he does not see that the dead are there, that her guests are in the deep places of the underworld.+
